Summer Slomo Challenge

What we did on our holidays....

Inspired by Ryan Junell's super-fly Slomo Video Festival, we thought this might be a good little exercise for the summer holidays. Your challenge: Make a one-minute film, using slow-motion in some way. Animation, slapstick, abstract reverie, car-chase, music video, the choice is yours. Shoot it on 35mm cinemascope, pixelvision, pinhole camera or your phone. Just make sure it's a minute long, and slomo, and get it to 7 INCH CINEMA by Friday 1st September 2006. The cream of the crop will be shown at a special event on 9th September, and on the BBC Big Screen in Birmingham.

update Entries have now closed for the Summer Slomo Challenge - thanks to all those who took part. See the fruit of their labours at Curzon St Station, Digbeth on 9 September.
